We struggle against ourselves, physically and/or mentally with any exercise. This is my journey.

Day #2 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Tonight is the first real workout in the program: Plyometric Cardio Circuit.

Plyo was one of my favorite workouts in P90X so I'm excited to see how this compares and what exercises are in it. Well, just finished up and boy is it intense! I wanted to go through but my body wouldn't let me! Some of it might just be in my head and I'll work that out. I was sweating up a storm, no really I think I saw clouds forming along my ceiling.

I can now see how this is a full body workout. Even though there is a lot of running and jumping, Shawn T. keeps telling you to keep the core tight. There are also times you are on the ground doing push-ups or runs and ab work while in the plank position. The warmup was about fifteen minutes long, which includes cardio warmup and then streching. Once the exercises start they were about three minutes apiece, but seemed a lot shorter, followed by a thirty second water break. Finally, after Shawn T. gets done running you into the ground and there is enough sweat on the ground to create a small fishing pond, there is about a four minute cool down period.

After seeing this one I'm definately excited to see the rest of the workouts and see how this transforms me into a machine. Well, off to finish my recovery drink and grab some more water then off to bed.
